Booking a Balloon Flight

A balloon flight is an early start that people talk about for years. In the ACT, flights launch from Pialligo at sunrise with approved pilots, and finish with a sparkling toast once the basket is back on the ground.

Prices start from $434 per person, and private flights for two are offered for proposals and anniversaries. Larger bookings suit a team reward or a client thank-you.

Things to know before booking a flight:

Weather: ballooning needs calm conditions, so flights can be postponed on the morning; ask how rebooking works.
Early start: sunrise flights mean meeting before dawn, so plan accommodation or a lift for anyone without a ride.
Clothing: mornings can be frosty for much of the year, so dress in layers and closed shoes.
Group size: ask how many baskets fly together and whether a team can share one flight.
Ages: the operator welcomes kids, but confirm any minimum age or height on booking.

For a work group, pair the flight with a breakfast or a morning of team building back on the ground. More outdoor ideas are under activities.

Warm, dry summers bring hot afternoons, but early mornings are often comfortable for flying.
Cold winters mean frosty launches, so take gloves and a beanie.
Four clear seasons give each flight a different feel, from crisp winter air to mild spring mornings.
Keep a back-up date in mind, since a windy morning means the flight will not go ahead.

What time do ACT hot air balloon flights take off?

Flights launch at sunrise, so expect to meet in the dark. Ask the operator how long the whole morning runs.

Can our company book a balloon flight as a team reward?

What if the weather is bad on the morning of our flight?
